024: [ visual | location: Streets of Taxon ] End of the World as We Know It

[glowingseer]

Okay, so maybe ever since that incident she'd been a little afraid to go outside the hotel. Not that she'll admit this to anyone, but that was the sad, twisted truth - the mere sight of Extras still freak her out a bit. But a few weeks have already passed and she was fine now and, well, it'll take a lot more than that to take Cordelia Chase down

[There had never been proper introductions, but there was no way Fitz was going to forget that voice sounding that distressed any time soon.]

Probably a dumb question but...you all right?

[voice] np, bb! <33

[glowingseer]

Oh, yeah. Extremely.

[ her tone is curt, for the record. ]

[voice]

[rereremembered]

[Ouch.]

Right, extremely dumb then, sorry. What's happened now?

[ voice ]

[glowingseer]

[ ...sorry? she's pretty shaken up by the vision itself, and trying to deal with it is difficult, knowing that it was going to happen eventually. ]

I-- who is this?

[ voice ] placeholder because of wooooooork, sob.

[aregulargirl]

Cordelia?!

[ max is already on her feet and out the door, on her way to find her. ]

[ voice ] <33!

[glowingseer]

Oh god. Oh god, Max.

[ her voice sounds muffled, as she's currently covering her mouth with her hands. ]

[ voice ] <333!

[aregulargirl]

[ good, she's still conscious. and coherent. ]

What happened? Where are you?

[ voice ]

[glowingseer]

Vision. Hotel.

[ she really can't be wordier than that, even if she tried. ]

Fred is quite near the doors, as she'd been in the office when she heard Cordy yelling on the tablet. Fred runs to her friend and looks her over, trying to see if there's any damage or...she doesn't even know.

"Cordelia? What happened?" She's long since given up asking people if they're okay.

[Location: Hyperion]

[glowingseer]

Cordelia blinks and looks at Fred as though she's just materialized out of nowhere. She moves away from the doors and heads towards the lobby.

She needs to sit. She needs to pace. She needs to throw up and curl up on the bed and--

"It's horrible," Cordelia replies, shaking her head. "I had a vision, and it's--" She chokes up, and covers her mouth. "It's horrible."

Seems like those are the only words she knows, now.

[Location: Hyperion]

[supercompacted]

"A vision," she repeats, eyes wide. It must've been really awful to have Cordelia acting that way. Generally, visions are pushed aside quickly to give details. Then again, Cordelia hasn't been getting them as often here.

Fred gives her a quick hug, then pulls her toward the couch in the middle of the lobby. "Here, come on, sit down for a minute. I'll get you some water, okay?" She starts heading in the direction of the office.

She rubs her arms and sits down as she's told. Calm. Calming down is good, and severely needed right now.

But the images are now burned to her brain, and try as she might, she can't calm down.

[greenballadeer]

[a gasp] Cordy!

Talk to me, honey. What's going on?

[voice]

[glowingseer]

Lorne! Thank god! You're okay, right? I mean-- of course you are and--

[ she takes a deep breath. ] It's a vision. I--I had a vision.

[voice]

[greenballadeer]

Never mind about me, are you okay, dumpling?

If you're ready to talk about it, you can tell me. Maybe you should sit down and take a few deep breaths first.

[voice]

[glowingseer]

I'm fine, Lorne. Fred's here and--

[ oh, look, an idea! ] Lorne, have you read anyone weird, lately? Like... maybe even someone who wants to, oh I don't know, destroy Taxon as a whole?

Cordelia wraps her arms around him and finally allows herself to cry. She's never been this affected by a vision before, ever since that incident with the family guy poking his eye with a damned knife. But here, that vision... fear and death and the certainty that it will happen...

She buries her head on his chest and sobs.

[ location: hyperion hotel ]

[glowingseer]

"No, it's not."

Cordelia pushes herself away from him, heading towards the lobby to pace. Get a grip, she tells herself again, as she furiously wipes her tears away with her hands. She turns and looks up at Angel. "My vision... it's--" Her hand comes up to cover her mouth for a second. "It's not just a single soul that needs to be saved, Angel. This time, everyone will need saving. We're all going to die here."
